UK R&D Tax Relief, Without the Adviser’s Cut.
The merged scheme pays 15% of qualifying costs, or 27% for loss-making firms. Logbook builds the claim and the HMRC paperwork from your Jira and GitHub.
What did you not know at the start?
We didn’t know if we could merge edits from 40,000 devices without a central lock. Two published approaches failed under real load (tickets SYNC-212, SYNC-240).
Technological uncertainty
The additional information form
HMRC wants project-by-project detail with every claim. Logbook writes it from your tickets.
Hours you can show
An hours log per person and per project, built from the work you logged at the time.
One flat fee
£1,750 per claim year, not a percentage of your relief.
Why Software Claims Get Questioned
HMRC looks for a clear technological uncertainty and proof the work happened. A write-up typed months later from interviews is the weak spot. Your tickets and commits were written at the time, which is why we start there.
What Changes When You Switch
You stop paying a share of the relief every year, and your engineers stop re-explaining last year in meetings. Most firms switch at the start of a claim year. Your adviser’s past claims stay as they are.
Who It Suits
Founders and CTOs of software, SaaS and engineering teams of 5 to 100 people, and finance directors who own the claim at the larger end.
Founding customers pay half for the first 12 months. Nothing is charged until it’s live for you. Cancel any time.
